| 363840 | 2005-06-14 09:56:00 | I will try that 2morrow but it still sounds fudged to me, I will probably try the more expensive one (XS6964) on dse site | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 363841 | 2005-06-14 09:58:00 | Also I had to unplug my floppy drive so I could plug in the auxiliary power on the card | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 363842 | 2005-06-14 10:06:00 | Also I had to unplug my floppy drive so I could plug in the auxiliary power on the card Err I think your card is the same as mine, i got from DSE. You shouldnt need the aux power to use the card. Thats just an option. There's a jumper on that card, that lets u use all 3 ports on the back (its set as default, so all 3 ports on the back of the case work) or use aux, (but only 2 of the firewire ports on the back will work), if youre connecting to something like a front firewire port. Is this what you've done?? Are you plugging the cam into the back of the card or to a connection on the front of the case?? Using the internal connection on the firewire card? |

| 363843 | 2005-06-14 11:54:00 | because it's the best way to import video! If only using one device on USB2 ie the camera, then USB2 is fine, actually slightly faster transfer speed than firewire (so I'm told). I use both and find no difference. |

I use both and find no difference. There will be a difference if you're into video editing, between USB2 and firewire. Firewire is faster. |

| 363846 | 2005-06-15 07:12:00 | Finally got it working through firewire, Now im not too impressed with the quality of the captured video I have tried several programs but Microsoft Movie maker 2 worked the best is there any way to increase the quality ? (I have already disabled the preview pane) Speedy: It must have been the power thing cos I plugged it into the charger/power supply and it went without locking up |

| 363847 | 2005-06-15 08:17:00 | Good to hear its finally going there Overdrive! Umm the captured video will only be as good as how it was taken . If the video when playing it from the cam, is choppy, or not that good, it wont be any better once u capture it in XP . I would say, if you upped the PSU to 400-450W +, you wont need to use power for the cam . BUT yup, it sounds like whatever is inside your case, its zapping most of the power, in which case, there isn't quite enough power to power maybe some or all the USB ports, and the firewire ports . |
